Kagera Salient
The Kagera Salient is a strip of Tanzanian territory north of the Kagera River, west of Lake Victoria and bordering Uganda. Idi Amin's Ugandan army invaded and annexed it in late 1978, provoking the Uganda–Tanzania War, in which Tanzanian forces drove out the invaders and went on to capture Kampala in April 1979, ending Amin's rule.
